The people in the General's residence discovered that both their General and Madam had become extremely abnormal. The General, who used to be a man of few words, filial, brotherly, and doted on...
Chapter 300: The slap in the face came so quickly
"Since you have already expelled our family from the Pei clan, please leave the mansion."
The Pei clan leader was stunned.
What is this bitch Pei Rong talking about!
She actually dared to ask them to leave!
Who gave her the confidence to say such presumptuous nonsense?
"Pei Rong, do you know what you are saying? I am the head of the Pei family. How dare you disrespect me, you rebellious and unfilial woman.
This Pei Mansion doesn't allow you to make the decision!"
Shen Zhao was so angry that he almost laughed, not to mention Madam Pei who was the person involved.
Xie Yuheng and Pei Xiaosi, who had been holding back, could no longer bear it.
Xie Yuheng was the first to sneer at the Pei clan leader.
He stepped forward and snatched the consent letter to expel Pei Yuanyi from the family from the Pei clan leader.
"Bah, you shameless old man."
"You have all expelled Lord Pei's entire family from the Pei family. How dare you act like a clan leader in front of Madam Pei?"
Pei Xiaosi then said:
"My mother is a second-rank imperial consort. How dare you, a commoner without any official title, disrespect my mother?
Do you know that you are insulting the imperial concubine with your words? This is extremely disrespectful and you should be punished."
The Pei clan leader choked.
I was instantly furious.
Mr. Xie San humiliated him, but he endured it.
Even the playboy whom Pei Changan used to look down upon the most dared to speak wildly to him.
How could he tolerate this?
He shouted angrily:
"Pei Changan, I am the head of the Pei clan! You carry the blood of my Pei clan, so you are under my jurisdiction. You have committed the above offense of disrespecting the elders, and according to the laws of Southern Chu, you should..."
"Should what?" Shen Zhao, who had always been regarded by the Pei clan as someone who was looking for trouble with Pei Yuanyi, spoke up.
The Pei clan members are no longer happy now.
They seemed to think they were wrong just now.
Prince Zhong came with Third Master Xie, and now Third Master Xie is clearly on Pei Changan's side.
Moreover, when Pei Rong was confessing her crime to Prince Zhong just now, Prince Zhong went forward to support Pei Rong in vain.
He also reminded Pei Rongshi to drive them out of the house.
Although they were slow to react, they also knew in their hearts that Prince Zhong was not here to cause trouble for Pei Yuanyi.
Maybe he is here to help Pei Yuanyi.
Thinking of this, the Pei family members felt a little regretful.
The Pei clan leader, who was furious at Pei Xiaosi just now, was interrupted by Shen Zhao.
The rest of the words got stuck in my mouth and I couldn't say them anymore.
He smiled wryly and said, "Please, Prince Zhong, please make a decision for me and the others."
"Who are you? What grievances have you suffered?" Shen Zhao asked doubtfully.
The Pei clan leader choked again.
Prince Zhong is pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth.
He said with a stiff upper lip:
"Pei Rong is disrespectful to us and wants to dominate the Pei Mansion and drive us out!
Please, Prince Zhong, do us justice."
[We can't leave even if we are beaten to death. Once Pei Rong drives us out of the Pei Mansion, it will be harder than climbing to heaven for us clansmen to get back in. We must take this opportunity to resolve the problem and send Pei Rong and her son on their way in advance.
This way, the Pei family's property can also be passed on to the clan.]
Shen Zhao laughed out loud as he listened to the thoughts of the Pei clan leader.
What he was thinking.
He kicked Pei Yuanyi out of the Pei family and even wanted to take over the Pei family's property.
It seems that they got all the benefits. There is no such good thing in the world.
"This prince sees that you are becoming more confused as you age."
The voice suddenly became colder.
"You, the Pei family, have already kicked Pei Yuanyi out of the Pei family in front of this king and everyone else. This Pei Mansion is Pei Yuanyi's residence.
It's normal for Madam Pei to kick you out. What's wrong with that?
And you said Madam Pei was disrespectful to you. Who do you think you are? Let the second-rank imperial consort of the dynasty respect you.
Do you know that the insults you just said to Madam Pei are enough to get you jailed?"
Chen Zhao looked at the growing resentment and fear in Patriarch Pei's eyes.
He said coldly:
"Get out of the Pei Mansion now! Do you really want to go to jail and get beaten with a few dozen sticks?"
This is not the time to make these people pay the price.
If we touch the Pei family members now, it will only be disadvantageous to Madam Pei and Pei Xiaosi.
It will also give those villains who are secretly fanning the flames an excuse to discredit Pei Yuanyi among the people.
As time goes by, the fate of these people will be worse than being beaten with dozens of sticks.
Patriarch Pei and the elders did not expect things to turn out this way.
They never imagined that one day they would be kicked out of Pei Mansion.
In the past, they could come to the Pei Mansion whenever they wanted, and Pei Rong would treat them as guests of honor and serve them with delicious food and drinks.
There is no need to wait any longer; these four elders have already begun to feel regret.
"Prince Zhong and I..."
"What are you waiting for?" Shen Zhao interrupted the Pei clan leader.
"What else do you have to say? This is Pei Yuanyi's residence.
You people have nothing to do with Pei Yuanyi anymore.
Just now, you swore in front of everyone that whether Pei Yuanyi was convicted and beheaded or acquitted, it had nothing to do with you.
You, the Pei family, have nothing else but backbone.
I will never go back on my word!
How come you forgot what I just said so quickly? Do you need me to remind you?
How can you still have the audacity to stay in someone else's house? Mrs. Pei is just too kind.
If it were me, I would have sent someone to the Jingzhao Yin to report that a thief had trespassed into my residence."
As Shen Zhao finished speaking, a hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the Pei clan leader.
Every word Prince Zhong said was a slap in his face, rubbing his dignity to the ground.
He never thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
Patriarch Pei clenched his fists, he was being tricked.
He then looked at Mrs. Pei who was being supported by Boss Pei.
"Old Madam, are you also going to watch us being driven out of the Pei Mansion by Pei Rong?"
They are now on the same rope.
The proposal to expel Pei Yuanyi from the Pei Mansion was made by Old Madam Pei.
It was also Madam Pei who secretly sent someone to ask the clan members to sign the consent form.
The leader's signature was that of Mrs. Pei.
Old Madam Pei never spoke up to stop Pei Rong from driving out Patriarch Pei and the others because she had her own plans.
If Pei Rong really had the ability to drive out these blood-sucking insects, it would be exactly what she wanted.
Pei Yuanyi had squandered most of the Pei family's wealth.
She really didn't want to share it equally with these people.
Pei Yuanyi has made these people very fat over the years.
She didn't want to keep these useless and costly rubbish.
However, since Patriarch Pei had spoken, she, as an old lady, certainly could not lose face in front of everyone and could not care about Pei Rong.
He then shouted:
"Pei Rong, why don't you go to your courtyard and reflect on your mistakes? I am still alive, and it is not your turn to be the head of the Pei Mansion."
Boss Pei also said:
"She's becoming increasingly unruly. She's probably a famous lady from a scholarly family, seeking fame and reputation.
What are you still standing here for? Why don't you go to your sister-in-law's yard, kneel down and apologize to her.
The humiliation she suffered today was all on your behalf. You owe it to your sister-in-law.
From now on, if you treat your sister-in-law badly or disobey her wishes, you will be considered heartless and the spit of the world will drown you."
Shen Zhao discovered something, something of vital importance!
